Steel Division 2

Eugen make good games but new players get stomped by veterans/stacked lobby and then don’t want to continue playing. Maybe they don't have the money/programmers to fix it.
Eugen put too much emphasis on a custom lobby system which hurts the games MP longevity. Stellaris (Paradox) does the same mistake so now they make most money from pve'er (playing against AI).
BBI also did the same mistake with Homeworld: Deserts of kharak and Relic Homeworld MP games were also pretty bad (I know from experience).
For PvP to prosper Eugen games need a good automatch system and from what I read they had this in RUSE.

You say bullshit. Objectively, the Steel Division is a super niche game. She has huge maps, a huge number of units that need constant microcontrol. Unfortunately, the game is not interesting. And online statistics are clear evidence of this. I am not against large scale. After all, the World in Conflict was one of my favorite strategies, but there the player controlled a very small number of units that are easily controlled. Plus World in Conflict was a beautifully made game: graphically, atmospheric.

And never tell me about Battle Royals, this is a boring and unreasonably over-hype genre.

But Battle Royale is the only overplayed profitable gametype at the moment.
If that's all people play... surely the majority don't find it boring as you do

Unfortunately, what is very popular does not guarantee that this is a good game. All the activities that major game publishers have been doing for many years is to reduce the quality of games and accustomed players to a low taste threshold. And the Battle Royal genre is a clear example of this - it is a very boring genre that requires minimal competence from the developer. But for some incredible reason this genre is over hype. And the developers want to take this hype train and create a ton of low-quality boring Battle Royal.

I got season pass and it doesn't say I have it.
Or Reinforcement #1, 2, 3, 4. I got paid all the pre-order best.

Confused

Battle Royale marks the start of the “mobilization” of console / PC as game platforms. Content-lite, F2P, inexpensive games with vaguely addicting shallow gameplay loops will pour into the ecosystem making it harder for publishers to justify finely tuned expansive experiences.

From GreenHD:

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my pleasure to announce the List of Players and the Division List for Season 6 of Steel Division 2 League.

This Season I bring to You 2 changes in the division system! For this season Division 2 will be played in a system of two groups with 7 players each, where top 3 places advance. This will make Division 2 more similar to Division 1 and hopefully will enhance the competition!

Second big change is the expansion of Division 5! I am delighted to see that many new players signing for League, so to make their experience even nicer Div 5 has been expanded to 4 groups of 5 players, with the 2 top places advancing to Play Offs! That means that in Division 5 the Play Offs bracket will be bigger since we will have 8 people fighting for the great final! I hope it will be a good solution to give even more people the experience of competetive play!

Keep in mind that the Divisions may change until the start next week!

Stay safe, and see You on the battlefield Commanders!
